I'll never be the stumbling block that gets in your way when you're starting a new chapter of your life."

Luna's gaze flickered for a moment, but she firmly said "Money can't solve everything when it comes to detailed research. Otherwise, no one is willing to leave their hometown for five years. We can't der Quirk Group suffer a loss either. We hope you can withdraw the additional conditions. We want to go abroad."

Christopher looked at Luna's icy countenance, his lips trembling. "All right, I understand. I'll tell my brother about it."
